Safely packaging your parcel
Avoid bad surprises by packing your parcel safely.
- Add a second label inside the box in case the outer one gets damaged.
- If you're sending anything fragile, use a new double lined box and tape every side.
- Fill the box so the items cannot move around and are not touching the walls.
- We recommend you place the box inside another one, and fill that box with cushioning. This is called “double boxing” and it provides ultimate protection for your goods.
Shipping abroad for Christmas?
Here is our #1 top tip for getting your parcel through customs
When booking, avoid only writing “gift” in the content description field.
You should specify what the gift is to avoid customs opening your package to check its contents, which will cause delays.
ParcelHero makes it easy to complete your customs paperwork, and we even submit the information electronically to customs in most cases.
